At Dallas memorial hospital Lucy Ewing
lay unconscious in life support, the heart monitor pulsated a beat
that hit through Gary and Pamela as they sat by her bedside.
"I just wish
she'd wake up" Gary said holding Lucy's hand.
"I know Gary,
Lucy is strong, she will be fine I'm sure" Pam reassured him.
"I don't
understand any of this, I just don't" Gary replied.
"Things like
this don't make sense at all but you have to have faith" Pamela
replied
"I don't
feel I even have the right to be here, you have been closer to her
than myself or Val. It just seems so crazy" Gary replied looking
down at Lucy.
"This is
no time to dissect the past, what's done is done and Lucy needs you
now, all of us" Pam said trying to hold back her tears.
"Wake up
honey, please god wake up" Gary said pleading with his daughter
to regain consciousness.
Cliff
and Afton sat at home. There was silence in the room.
Becky walked down
the stairs, her arm bandaged.
"I have to
find John Ross" she said tearfully.
Afton walked over
to her daughter.
"Becky, you
need rest, please" Afton said holding her daughters hand
"Mom, I have
to find him, if I got out, I know John Ross did, they are wrong, I
know he's alive, they are wrong" Becky said.
"Becky please,
sweetheart, please, don't do this to yourself" Afton pleaded
"Its all
my fault, Its all my fault, he can't be gone, I need him, he loves
me. He wouldn't leave me. I have to go and tell him" Becky said
emotionally.
Afton took her
daughter by the shoulders.
"Becky, John
Ross is dead and we will help you through this, sweetheart I know
its hard, but you have to find a way to deal with this" Afton
explained.
"No, no"
Becky screamed, crying.
Afton hugged her
tightly. Cliff looked on not knowing what to say or do.
Ellie
still dressed at 1am, walked down the Southfork stairs.
Sue Ellen paced
up and down the lounge, tired and emotional
The two women
looked at each other, they did not speak. There was silence. Miss
Ellie walked over to Sue Ellen and hugged her tightly. They both broke
down in tears, Sue Ellen could hardly breath through her tears.
"My son,
Miss Ellie, I want my son back, please , get my son, I need my baby,
oh my baby boy" Sue Ellen said through her tears.
Miss Ellie broke
down crying. Both women stood hugging each other in the lounge, sobbing.
Bobby
walked out of his bedroom, wearing his dressing gown, he made his
way down the hallway.
He stood outside
JR's bedroom and noticed the door was slightly ajar. He pushed the
door open and walked in. JR's bed was unmade, clothes were thrown
around the room, and glass on the floor. JR was nowhere to be seen.
Bobby looked concerned
JR
, his eyes red from sleepless nights, his shirt partly undone, drove
erratically towards Pamela's house. A partially filled bottle
of whiskey lay on the seat beside him.
He skidded into the driveway crashing into some pot plants which shattered.
